We own panic, acute anxiety, nervous system reset, vagus nerve, health anxiety, anticipatory worry, and scenario-specific protocols. We never drift into trauma/CPTSD framing, grief/loss content, or vague \"just relax\" advice. Speed, specificity, and mechanism-in-one-sentence are the brand promise. --- Topics include: Anxiety: Let's Make Sense Of This Shit.
